The Crushed Grape

Louis Latour Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024

Regular price £18.99

A classic white Burgundy with crisp citrus, delicate orchard fruit, and refined mineral freshness. Elegant, balanced, and beautifully approachable.

In Burgundy, when you see a white wine labelled “Bourgogne Chardonnay,” it’s a regional-level wine (as opposed to a village or cru) and is always made entirely from the Chardonnay grape - which is the signature white variety of the region. 

The palate reveals lemon zest, green apple, and ripe pear layered with subtle white peach notes. Gentle hints of almond and a light mineral edge add complexity, leading to a clean and persistent finish.

Typically unoaked or lightly oaked, the wine showcases purity of fruit and a classic Burgundian style, making it a versatile companion to seafood, poultry, fresh cheeses, and light pasta dishes. With the 2024 vintage marked by favourable growing conditions, this release is expected to deliver vibrancy, finesse, and approachability.

Whether you're new to Burgundy or a seasoned fan of French whites, the Louis Latour Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024 is a dependable, elegant expression of the region’s winemaking heritage.

Description

Louis Latour Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from Burgundy (Bourgogne), the historic heartland of Chardonnay and one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions. The region’s limestone-rich soils and cool continental climate provide ideal conditions for producing whites with precision, freshness, and elegance.

This wine is made entirely from Chardonnay, Burgundy’s flagship white grape. Grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the wider Bourgogne appellation, capturing the region’s hallmark balance between fruit purity and mineral structure.

Produced by Maison Louis Latour, one of Burgundy’s most historic and respected family-owned houses with winemaking roots dating back to the 18th century, the wine reflects a philosophy of precision and classic regional expression. Careful vinification preserves freshness while gentle maturation adds subtle texture and refinement.

Style

A dry, medium-bodied white that emphasises freshness, balance, and elegance rather than richness. It offers more texture and structure than very light white wines, but remains crisp and refined rather than creamy or heavy.

The style sits firmly in the classic Burgundy tradition: clean, mineral-driven, and food-friendly. There is a smooth, polished feel on the palate, supported by lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and energetic.

In simple terms: a classic white Burgundy that sits stylistically between a crisp Pinot Grigio and a richer Chardonnay — offering freshness, subtle texture, and refined elegance.
